2 Preble County men arrested on drug-related charges

Clyde W. Miller, 41, is charged with one count of aggravated possession of drugs and a misdemeanor count of illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

Preble County deputies were in the West Alexandria on Sept. 19 investigating drug dealing complaints, according to the Preble County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators determined one of the men reportedly was in possession of suspected methamphetamine.

Investigators made contact with a man leaving a garage to a house in the 100 block of West Dayton Street — which is within 1,000 feet of Twin Valley South Schools — where they found he was in possession of suspected meth, and that he had just “traded” for the drugs.

The second man in the garage gave consent for deputies to search, and deputies seized seven grams of suspected methamphetamine, digital scales and meth pipes, according to the sheriff’s office.

“The suspect in the garage admitted to selling methamphetamine from the garage,” a statement from the sheriff’s office read.

Johnson and Miller were arrested and are in the Preble County Jail. Johnson’s bond is $25,000, and Miller’s bond is set at $2,500.
